turk turkey's recent strikes against pkk fighters in iraq in which eight turkish soldiers tragically lost their lives last week are one indication of the persistent threat of this terrorist group. that is why senator joe lieberman and i have authored a resolution expressing solidarity in the fight against the pkk and urging greater cooperation against the international financing and propaganda efforts as well as u.s. intelligence and military support for turkish actions to take senior pkk leaders off the battlefield. such steps could empower turkish leaders for the demands of turkish citizens. another way to invest in each other's success is through greater trade and here we need to be much more ambitious. the best way to do so would be to explore the possibility of negotiating a free trade agreement. more ambitious still would be to join with turkey in constructing a new architecture, similar to the transpacific partnership. i know this may complicate these goals, but this has not proved problematic between turker and states and it shouldn't hold us back, either. similarly, while ou

ronald reagan was elected governor of california in 166 and considered running against richard in iraq on and nelson rockefeller two years later, but ultimately decided it was too early. the result, of course, was nixon and watergate and then finally, ronald reagan. and the triumph of a movement that began as a gleam in the eye of young bill buckley. by 2007, reagan was gone, but george w. bush presented bill buckley the medal of freedom at a white house ceremony honoring his life, his work, and acknowledging the debt that the country and all of us owed him. by then though, buckley sensed that the movement he built was fraying around the engs. -- edges. he was convinced that the balance it had existed among thevaceous constituencies that made up the movement was somehow off kilter. it seemed to him that some like the young president who placed the medal around his neck, just didn't get it. that other who's had come to washington to do good had stayed to do well. and that the sectarianism and hubris that they demonstrated was leading the movement down the road to potential disaster. buc
